We ought to be investing like crazy.

If there was a cyber attack that was issued on any one of us anywhere in the country, I am terrified of what would happen, and what that could do to destroy commerce in America.

we are just losing electrons because of old infrastructure. There has to be a smarter way to do it.

So the letter that I handed to the Chairman was the one that I cited earlier from April 20, Mr. Chairman.

I am saying if we are going to increase production in the United States, shouldn't we keep it in the United States to be able to help the American consumer and American businesses?

So do you support keeping increased production in the United States and not exporting it?

There is a piece of legislation that would actually encourage natural gas use in 18-wheelers.

80 percent of convoys in Iraq and Afghanistan are for fuel and it is estimated that 46 convoys resulted in a casualty.

If we are going to increase production, American people are hitting $4 a gallon, some places higher.

A lot of conversations about who is to blame for high gas prices, anyone that truly believes that President Obama or Secretary Chu or Speaker Boehner or Congressman Lujan wants higher fuel prices for the American people, it is not true.

All things being equal, if the United States increases its supply, will fuel prices at the pump go down for the American people?

I would just like to ask unanimous consent that I submit into the record a letter from the Northern New Mexico Stockmen, the New Mexico Cattle Growers Association, the New Mexico Wool Growers, and the New Mexico Federal Lands Council.

I think my people would like to make sure that the Treaty of Guadalupe de Hidalgo be honored, and that our traditional uses of herb gathering, wood cutting, hunting, the grazing, that all that be protected for us with this bill.

I appreciate the indulgence of the Chairman here--Ms. Weldon, one other area that I want to ask for your consideration...

My legislation... simply assigns these islands the official title of the Maine Coastal Islands Wilderness Area.

I think that if we are able to work together, there may be a way to pull a lot more support.

I would like to thank Chairman Bishop and Ranking Member Grijalva for bringing this bill before the Subcommittee.

I want to congratulate and publicly thank Congressmen Lujan and Heinrich, as well as Senators Bingaman and Udall.
